Many medications in the MGH Pharmacy dictionary have been assigned a maximum recommended dose for one-time administration. If, in entering an "Other" dose, you choose an amount that exceeds this recommended dose, a warning appears to provide this information.
To decrease the dose to an amount less than the recommended maximum, click Change and type the new dose.
To override this intervention, type a clinically valid reason for your choice, then click Continue.
This intervention monitors single-dose amounts only. Cumulative and lifetime dosing are not monitored by MGH Provider Order Entry at this time.
